I’m WAY behind on the blogging – so although from this last entry it looks like our trip lasted a month (and that was our intention) -it’s over. We cut the trip short when Bill started making his way up the coast. So, our last port of call was sparkling Boothbay Harbor. We picked up [...]

I have been messing around with text for awhile and can’t seem to get it lined up with the appropriate pictures – so I’m just going to let the pictures tell the tale. With the introductory note that Taylor began the trip sitting in his bed in the pilot house instead of cowering in the [...]

It’s a more interesting harbor name than we’ve seen recently (Northeast, Southwest, or the obvious family names) but we’ve forgotten the history to this one. It turns out there’s no burning of a coat involved. (Sad for me, I was imagining all kinds of exciting scenarios.) Evidently the name is a translation/then anglicization of [...]

I find this place hard to describe. Not geographically- the island’s about 8 miles out to sea off Mt. Desert Island, although it’s certainly worlds away from Bar Harbor. It’s remote, simple and unspoiled, one of the dwindling number of islands in Maine with a year-round (about 70 people) population. It’s breathtakingly beautiful. That [...]
Bucks Harbor to Somes Sound, Maine

Left the tranquility of little Bucks Harbor for a leisurely passage through Eggemoggin Reach. I’m thinking about E.B. White (Stuart Little, Charlotte’s Web, and so much more) and his saltwater farm, not far from here. We saw him on his doorstep there, while scouting his neck of the woods with Mom and Dad many [...]
Off the pier!

After several days of cleaning, provisioning and moving our stuff aboard, we threw off our lines this morning and headed out for a month or so of living on the water. The seas were calm, the sun was shining and Taylor not only didn’t throw up, he stayed in the pilot house instead of cowering [...]
